In Support of Fir Lands.

A. F. Grow, of Bainbridge Island,
near Port Blakeley, writes his opin-
ions of our fir uplands, based upon
experience, to the Washington Far
mer. Mr.. Grow says:
In the early settlement of many of
the western prairie states, and in
Kansas, especially, it was supposed
that the only really good agricultural
land was confined to n margin along
the streams, large and small. 1t took
only few years to convince settlers
that the high prairie was not quite
worthless, but, in fact, quite equal to
much of the land along the streams.
The impression has also prevailed (al-
most universally among the old moss
backs) that the fir urlands of Western
Washington were, indeed, utterly
worthless. Such people will have to
give up the idea that but the "shell
land" in the fir region Of upland is
productive. My neighbor Hoskinson
will, doubtless, tell your readers what
his experience and that of many
others in this section, is in the raising
of fruit, great ard small, on the sandy
and gravelly upland. The writer has
some twenty acres sown to clover and
timothy, orchard grass and mesquite
combined, which, for height and yield
per acre, exceeds anything ever seen
in New York, Illinois, Iowa or Kansas,
and on fir land, which any man with
out experience, would pronounce too
poor to sprout white beans. Vegeta-
bles are abundant with us, and we do
not lack for potatoes, carrots, beets
and turnips Of fine quality, and heavy
yield per acre. Myself and neighbors
have produced potatoes weighing from
three pounds to three and one-hali
pounds apiece, and carrots twenty
inches long, and five inches in diane.
